    One thing about the Brits

    They duck no one

    Khan has taken on the most dangerous fighters out there,

    If he beats matthyse then he is p4p1

    **** Garcia, that bum is living on borrowed time

    Khan is the truth

    never got the arrogant thing either.

    Most of his interviews are incredibly bland,and he actually seems borderline shy and awkward in them most of the time.

    It would seem that a boxer saying "Im going to win" and "I believe Im the best" is enough for some people here to label him as arrogant.

    Froch is 10x as arrogant and says far more cocky things yet is loved in the UK.

    Khan is possibly the only world class English boxer ive ever seen that is actually disliked by a large number of English people.

    They usually support their fighter regardless, but with Khan it appears to be different.

    A fighter is confident in his abilities and believes he can beat another fighter?

    Worse, he said something to the effect of 'people always want to talk about glass chin, but I knocked down Peterson and Matthysse knocked him out, does that mean he has a glass chin?'

    He's the original glass-jaw denier.

    speed does not = natural ability
    no footwork
    no defense
    no inside game
    no ring smarts
    said him self did or still does not which ever khan now thinks uderstands the sport in which he himself partakes
    no abillity to recognize mistakes
    no abilitity to admit defeat
    :hey

    Say what you want about Kahn, the one thing the guy does not lack is confidence. Although I'm not the biggest Kahn fan I respect that he will fight anybody, I really don't believe there's any duck in the guy.

    Actually speed does = natural ability.

    Speed is pretty much the most natural thing you have.
    Those other things you entioned dont come naturally.

    You think he won an olympic silver aged 17, without understanding boxing?

    Unlike Maidana, Matthysse can box too.

    Glass would be shattered
